Phone not powering up

Wife's Z5 was left in the snow for > 3 hours (amazingly, no crack on screen, which I suspect no vehicle drove on top of it). When I tried to power it up, nothing happen. It looks dry inside the phone after removing the back cover. What else can I try to get it to power up (just want to get the picture out)...I don't mind ordering some parts just for the heck of it...any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. The power button (fingerprint sensor does feel odd...)

i would think, even though that it seems dry and look dry, it might be a little waterdamage? cause it was there for 3hours as you say, You could try to extract pictures through your computer and phone, in my little quick tutorial(just click tutorial to get to it) but i cant promise it will work as if it is wateredamage in the phone the memory might be fried, but you could try if you have take the SD card if used? and see if there might be photos on that? my phones usually store all my photos and apps at my SD card
